AnswerView source ↗

I note that it is a much better question. (1) No, a decision has not yet been made. (2) The sites currently under consideration are in the Bullsbrook-Muchea area and also in the Northam area. (3) Not known. The meat industry is developing a strategy on land disposal as part of its feasibility study. I think that means the Meat Industry Authority is developing a strategy, although that is not what the written answer says. This strategy is being developed in conjunction with the Midland Redevelopment Authority and LandCorp. (4) It is expected that funding for any proposed facility will come from the sale of existing assets. (5) Not known at this time. The Meat Industry Authority is preparing a feasibility study which will include estimates of the cost. (6) When I have received the feasibility study, I will consult with industry. (7) The study will evaluate the likely effects of the options on road routes. (8) The feasibility study is expected to be completed by September. It will include proposed time lines for construction.
